There is a Burritoville risen from the dead on 23rd between 7th and 8th. The menu is somewhat the same. I had a Holy Mole and it was about 85% as good as I remembered. No free chips and salsa though :(

The signage kinda makes me think the owners of The 13th Step are involved. Now we have dueling blight at 2nd Ave and East 9th giving drunk Bridge/Tunnelers something new to barf up after failing the 12 steps.

The butcher next door needs custiomers. Last Eastern European butcher in the neighborhood, GREAT kielbasa, bigos, fresh sauerkraut from the barrel in the back, etc- so I am delighted to see the Subway leave.
